Introducon ibaInCycle

2 Introducon

ibaInCycle monitors all types of cyclically repeang processes, including recurring sequences

and rotang components, such as rollers and gears.

Process signals from cyclical processes ideally exhibit similar behavior within a cycle. ibaInCycle

compares the “learned” or dened good process with the actual process signal and signals de-

viaons immediately, for example via alarm message or e-mail. In addion, a feedback in the

plant control can be implemented to automacally adjust the corresponding parameters.

Since ibaInCycle is seamlessly integrated in ibaPDA, the full ibaPDA connecvity is available to

acquire all possible process signals in a system and to use them to dene the states. ibaInCycle

provides dierent modules, which are congured in the I/O manager of ibaPDA:

■ The InCycle expert module oers a variety of individual conguraon opons for analyzing

the cycles.

■ The InCycle auto-adapng module automacally learns the behavior of the cycles in dierent

process condions and uses this as a reference to automacally idenfy deviaons.

2.1 ibaInCycle (ibaPDA)

ibaInCycle is an integrated technology module of the process data recording system ibaPDA.

ibaInCycle oers features to analyze and display cyclical processes, both for recurring process

steps as well as for rotang mechanics.

An ibaInCycle license makes it possible to use 4 InCycle modules. If more modules are needed,

an addional ibaInCycle license must be purchased for each 4 addional modules.

2.3 ibaInCycleproles

All InCycle proles with congurable calculaon rules use proles for the conguraon. These

proles can be used to reuse calculaon rules and exchanged between dierent systems or

ibaPDA and ibaAnalyzer. Proles without know-how protecon can be exported and imported

as a le in xml format.

Proleendings

The exported proles of the individual modules have the following le extensions:

4.1 ArrangingandstructuringibaInCyclemodules

Below the ibaInCycle interface in the I/O manager in ibaPDA, the user can establish a hierarchic

structure, e.g. in accordance with the plant structure, by means of directories. Such folders can

be created by right-clicking on the ibaInCycle interface or an exisng folder.

Fig. 1: Context menu of the ibaInCycle interface

If several folders were created on the same hierarchical level, they can be marked by mouse-

click and moved within the level by using the key combinaon <Ctrl>+<cursor up> or <cursor

down> or by drag & drop.

Fig. 2: Context menu of the ibaInCycle subdirectory

InCycle modules can be moved to directories by drag & drop. New modules can be directly add-

ed to a folder via the context menu, too. The folders can be renamed just as you like.

Fig. 3: Context menu of ibaInCycle subfolder, several subdirectories

Based on this hierarchic structure, ibaInCycle groups are automacally created in the "Groups"

secon in the I/O manager. These groups are locked and cannot be modied. You cannot add

signals to a locked group or its sub-group(s).

4.2 Know-howprotecon

4.2.1 Introducon

The know-how protecon area oers mechanisms for protecng intellectual property associat-

ed with certain calculaons and/or sengs in ibaPDA, which are considered as user know-how

worth protecng.

In principle, the know-how protecon can be applied to all module types which use proles,

such as

■ InSpectra and InCycle modules

■ Computaon module

■ Lookup table

■ Parameter set

■ Process condion

The following protecve funcons are realized:

■ Protecon against change

The protected elements cannot be changed without entering a password.

■ Read protecon

The conguraon of the protected elements is not displayed without entering a password.

■ Dongle protecon

The protected elements are only executed on systems that run with a previously registered

dongle. Several dongle numbers can be registered.

The protecon is realized via so-called protecon schemes that, once dened, can always be

applied again.

Fig. 5: Conguraon of the know-how protecon

14 1.1

The ibaInCycle interface in ibaPDA ibaInCycle

The basic procedure is as follows:

1. Generang a protecon scheme

2. Applying a protecon scheme to an element

4.2.2 Creangaproteconscheme

1. Open the I/O manager and highlight the branch Knowhow protecon in the interface tree

under the node General.

2. Click on the buon with the green plus symbol to add a new rule.

The "New scheme" dialog opens.

The parameters ID and version are automacally generated.

3. Now enter the other parameters and then click on <OK>.

The sengs and entries to be made for a protecon scheme are specically as follows:

Author(oponal)

Enter the name of the author here.

Copyright(oponal)

You can enter a note text here about the copyright of the elements protected by this scheme.

“Onlypermitexecuononsystemswithoneofthefollowinglicensenumbers”

Enable this opon if the elements protected by this scheme are only to be executed on systems

with certain license numbers (dongle protecon). Then enter all respecve dongle or license

numbers in the eld below. You can easily enter the number of the respecve connected dongle

using the <Add connected dongle> buon. If you do not enable this opon, there is no execu-

on restricon of the protected elements with respect to the license number.

Password

Enter a password that consists of at least 8 characters. Spaces are not permied. You will need

the password for the following acons:

1.1 15

ibaInCycle The ibaInCycle interface in ibaPDA

■ Viewing the conguraon of a protected element

■ Changing the conguraon of a protected element

■ Changing or removing the protecon scheme

Note

What to do, if you don't know the password anymore?

The password of a protecon scheme is encrypted and saved in the I/O congu-

raon. Note the password and store it in a save place where you can nd it.

If you forgot the password you won't be able to open or edit protected proles

for ibaInSpectra or ibaInCycle, for instance. Because you cannot reset the pass-

word by yourself, the only way to x it is to save the I/O conguraon of your

system and send the conguraon to the iba support desk. You may as well take

the project le or simply generate a support le over the Help menu and send it

to the iba support desk, conjoined with the request for reseng the protecon

scheme passwords.

iba can only remove the passwords but is not able to retrieve them. iba erases

the passwords from the conguraon and send it back to you. Then you can load

this conguraon into your system. Finally, you can dene a new password.

4.2.3 Applicaonofaproteconscheme

An element can always only be protected by one protecon scheme, but a protecon scheme

can be applied to several elements.

If you have elements in your ibaPDA conguraon worth protecng, such as InSpectra proles,

then these elements are shown in the table below in the dialog.

In order to protect one or more elements, rst highlight the desired scheme in the list of the

protecon schemes (top le).

Then highlight the relevant lines at the boom by seng a check mark in the selecon box and

click on the buon <Protect>.

Then enter the password for the respecve protecon scheme and click <OK>.

4.2.4 Removingtheprotecon

In order to remove the protecon for one or more elements, highlight the corresponding lines

in the table below in the dialog by seng a check mark in the selecon box. Then click on the

buon <Unprotect>.

Then enter the password for the respecve protecon scheme and click <OK>.

If you want to remove the protecon for several elements at the same me that are protected

with dierent schemes, then you have to enter the passwords for all respecve schemes in the

password dialog.

16 1.1

The ibaInCycle interface in ibaPDA ibaInCycle

4.2.5 Imporngandexporngprotectedelements

When elements are protected, they can be exported and imported. The conguraon of the

elements is encrypted in the export les (*.proteconScheme). You therefore have an easy way

of spreading protected know-how to dierent ibaPDA systems.

For an export, highlight the desired element and click <Export scheme>. Then select the desired

storage path, enter a le name and close the dialog by pressing <Save>.

If you have highlighted several elements for export, then a prompt dialog appears asking wheth-

er all highlighted elements should be saved in the export le or whether you want to select

more rst.

If you want to import a protected element le, click on <Import scheme>, select the desired le

(*.proteconScheme) and close the dialog by pressing <Open>.

4.2.6 Unlockingprotecteditems

If you want to access protected items in the applicaon, then you must rst unlock the respec-

ve item by entering the password for the protecve rule.

If, for example, you want to view the conguraon of the protected InSpectra proles, then you

must rst enter the password in the “Congure proles” dialog and click on <Unlock>.

The access remains protected unl the I/O manager is closed again.

Fig. 6: ibaInSpectra example: The password must be entered in order to view protected proles.

The input signals, triggers and proles of the respecve InCycle module are dened in the con-

guraon area. A detailed descripon can be found at the InCycle Expert module.

See chapter ì The InCycle Expert module, page 60

5.1.2 Visualizaonarea

The visualizaon area of the ibaAnalyzer-InCycle view shows the same view that is used in

ibaPDA for the InCycle module.

A detailed descripon of the cycle view can be found in chapter ì The cycle view, page 21

A detailed descripon of the circle view can be found in chapter ì The circle view, page 53

5.1.3 Results area

The results of the respecve module are shown in ibaAnalyzer-InCycle in the results area at the

boom le.

All characterisc values and output signals of the respecve modules are available as results.

The results always relate to the current cursor posion of the playback area. The calculaon

that was calculated last before this me is displayed.
